Crochet Pattern: Bunny Applique

Here comes Peter Cottontail hopping down the bunny trail! It’s time to start crocheting some projects for Easter. This quick and easy bunny is a great pattern for beginners. It is so fast to make and can be used in a variety of ways. It’s also a great scrap saver project for all those extra yarn bits that are lying around. This chubby bunny could be sewn on your child’s Easter outfit, made into a pin, used to embelish linens or baby gifts. If you like chocolate bunnies, then swap out the white yarn for a cocoa brown color. Have fun and happy crocheting this week!

Bunny Head
Round 1: Ch 3, sl st in first chain made to form a ring, ch 1, 10 sc in ring, sl st in beginning ch-1: 10 sc
Round 2-3: ch 1, sc in each sc around, sl st in beginning ch-1
Do not finish off, continue with ears.

Ears
ch 5, sc in second ch from hook and in next 3 ch, sc in next two sc on bunny head, ch 5, sc in second ch from hook and in next 3 ch, finish off.

Assembly
Using needle and thread sew the bunny head to the bunny body. I like to overlap the head over the body just sightly to give the bunny a chubby appearance. Cut a 5-inch piece of pink yarn and tie around the bunny’s neck into a bow.

How about enlarging the top hole to turn it into a door hanger? The extra dimensions on the bottom (this could be a snowman idea too?) could be used to attach words to; i.e. “do not disturb” “Anthony’s Room”, etc. Hmmm. Original pattern would be cute with a magnet glued to it for the fridge with the words, diswasher is…clean/dirty. Or maybe a miniature picture frame glued in front with person’s name attached on top? Hmmmm. Sorry, maybe you were already planning these for future posts? By the way, love your site. I love crochet!
